Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Keep on talkin' all you want
Well, you don't waste a minute of time
Who cares? Who knows what's true?
Coffee and tears the whole night through
[Verse 2]
Burning up on midnight oil
And it's come right back on you
[Verse 3]
Freedom overspill
Freedom overspill
[Verse 4]
Force of habit, you could say
The way they talk, you're talking away
Who cares? Who knows what's true?
Your wounded pride is burning you up
[Verse 5]
Burning up on midnight oil
And it's come right back on you
[Verse 6]
Freedom overspill
Freedom overspill
[Verse 7]
You're sounding good to me now
Keep talking on
I wanna hear the worst
You got no right going around
Talking 'bout the thing that you do
That you do
[Verse 8]
Keep on talking all you want
Well, you don't waste a minute of time
Who cares? Who knows what's true?
Coffee and tears the whole night through
[Verse 9]
Burning up on midnight oil
And it fell right back on you
[Verse 10]
Freedom overspill
There's a freedom overspill
C'mon
[Verse 11]
Freedom overspill
Freedom overspill
[Verse 12]
You're sounding good to me now
Keep talking on
I want to hear the worst
You got no right goin' around
Talkin' 'bout the thing that you do
Talkin' 'bout the things you do
[Verse 13]
Force of habit, you could say
The way they talk, you're talking away
Who cares? Who knows what's true?
Your wounded pride is burning you up
[Verse 14]
Burning up on midnight oil
And it's come right back on you
[Verse 15]
Freedom overspill
Oh, freedom overspill
Freedom overspill
Oh, freedom overspill
[Verse 16]
Freedom overspill
Freedom overspill
[Verse 17]
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Oh, freedom overspill
